The volume of the timber to be sold will be determined by the Authorized Officer in accordance with Bureau of Land Management prescribed procedures. No timber may be cut or removed under terms of this provision unless sufficient installment payments have been made in accordance with Section 3(b) of the contract or sufficient bonding has been provided in accordance with Section 3(f) of the contract.

(dd) This authorization for the Purchaser to cut and remove additional timber prior to the execution of a modification may be withdrawn by the Contracting Officer if the Authorized Officer determines that the Purchaser has cut and removed any tree not previously marked and approved for cutting by the Authorized Officer, which under Section 10 of the contract constitutes a violation of the contract and under Section 13 of the contract may constitute a trespass rendering the Purchaser liable for damages under applicable law.

(ee) If authorization is withdrawn, the Contracting Officer shall issue a written notice to the Purchaser that the sale of additional timber under this special provision is no longer approved.

(1) Failed to properly mark any stump with the “X” cut.

(2) Failed to identify the location of any stump.

(3) Cut any tree that was reserved for tree improvement and/or wildlife habitat, including those trees within the Reserve Area adjacent to Partial Harvest Area No. 1, shown on Exhibit A.

(4) Cut any tree in or adjacent to cable yarding corridors that was not necessary to facilitate cable yarding.

(5) Cut any reserve tree in or adjacent to tractor skid roads that was not necessary to facilitate ground based yarding.

Discontinued operations may be resumed upon receipt of written instructions and authorization by the Contracting Officer.

During any period of suspension, the Purchaser may withdraw performance and payment bond coverage aside from that deemed necessary by the Authorized Officer to secure cut and/or removed timber for which the Bureau of Land Management has not received payment, and/or unfulfilled contract requirements associated with harvest operations that have already occurred and associated post-harvest requirements.

In the event of a suspension period or a combination of suspension periods that exceed a total of 30 days, the First Installment held on deposit may be temporarily reduced upon the wri tten request of the Purchaser.

In the event that operating time is lost as a result of the incorporation of additional contract requirements, or delays due to Endangered Species Act consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service, or court-ordered injunctions, the Purchaser agrees that an extension of time, without reappraisal, will constitute a full and complete remedy for any claim that delays due to the suspension hindered performance of the contract or resulted in damages of any kind to the Purchaser.

The Contracting Officer may determine that it is necessary to terminate the cutting and removal rights under the contract in order to comply with the Endangered Species Act, protect occupied marbled murrelet sites in accordance with the ROD and RMP, protect species that have been discovered which were identified for protection through survey and manage and/or protection buffer standards and guidelines established in the ROD and RMP, or comply with a court order. Following the issuance of a written notice that cutting and removal rights will be terminated, the Purchaser will be permitted to remove timber cut under the contract, if allowed by the Endangered Species Act, marbled murrelet occupied site protection in accordance with the ROD and RMP, survey and manage and/or protection buffer standards and guidelines established in the ROD and RMP, or court order requirements necessitating the modification or termination.

In the event cutting and removal rights are terminated under this subsection, the Purchaser agrees that the liability of the United States shall be limited to the actual costs incurred by the Purchaser which have not been amortized by timber removed from the contract area. This calculation of liability shall utilize actual Purchaser costs and Government estimates of timber volumes. At the Authorized Officer's request, the Purchaser agrees to provide documentation of the actual costs incurred in the performance of the contract. In addition, the Purchaser shall be released from the obligation to pay the contract price for any timber which is not authorized to be removed from the contract area.

The Purchaser specifically and expressly waives any right to claim damages, other than those described in the preceding paragraphs, based on an alleged breach of any duty to the Purchaser, whether express or implied, in regard to the manner in which the Government defended the litigation which resulted in the court order affecting the operation of the contract. This waiver also extends to any claims based on effects on the operation of the contract that arise from litigation against another agency. Furthermore, the Purchaser specifically acknowledges and agrees that a court ruling that the Government violated the Administrative Procedures Act cannot be interpreted, in itself, to mean that the Government had not acted reasonably in regard to its duties to the Purchaser under this contract.

Primarily for purposes of fire prevention and control, the Purchaser shall, prior to the operation of power driven equipment in construction or logging operations under this contract during the closed fire season or periods of fire danger, prepare a fire prevention and control plan to the satisfaction of the Authorized Officer.

(2) Fire Hazard Reduction. In addition to the requirements of Section 15 of this contract, and notwithstanding the Purchaser's satisfactory compliance with State laws and regulations regarding offsetting or abating the additional fire hazard created by this operation and the State's willingness to release the Purchaser from liability for such hazard, the Purchaser shall remain responsible to the Government for performance of the following hazard reduction measures required by this contract:

(aa) Pile and cover all slash on landings and within 25 feet of Road Nos. 18-6-31, 19-6-13, 19-6-13.4, and County Roads 4082 (Battle Creek) and 4086 (Panther Creek) in the Partial Harvest Areas, including landing piles resulting from yarding. All work shall be completed in accordance with Provisions 1-10 of Exhibit F, which is attached hereto and made a part hereof. Exhibit F contains 3 sheets.

(bb) Burn all resulting slash piles. All work shall be completed in accordance with Provisions 11-18 of Exhibit F.

Sec. 42 – Special Provisions (cont’d) Eames Swing Timber Sale

- 10 -

(cc) In lieu of performing slash disposal as identified in Section 42(d)(2)(aa) and Section 42(d)(2)(bb), the Purchaser may remove material identified for slash disposal after notifying the Authorized Officer in writing. Any material identified for slash disposal that is not removed in accordance with this provision shall be treated in accordance with Section 42(d)(2)(aa) and Section 42(d)(2)(bb). Upon completion of slash removal, the Purchaser shall report tonnage of slash removed in accordance with this provision.

(e) Optional Contributions

(1) The Purchaser shall perform all pile burning in accordance with Section 42(d)(2)(bb). The Purchaser shall have the option of completing this work, or in lieu thereof, making a contribution to the Bureau of Land Management in the amount of Seven Hundred Ninety-eight and 85/100 dollars ($798.85). The amount of contribution shown above shall be paid prior to cutting. The Purchaser shall notify the Authorized Officer in writing of his intention to make this contribution prior to the date of execution of the contract. Upon making such contribution, the Purchaser shall be relieved of obligations set out in this subsection.

(2) If the Purchaser has made such a contribution, and later elects to remove all material identified for slash disposal in accordance with Section 42(d)(2)(cc), the entire contribution will be refunded to the Purchaser.

(f) Miscellaneous Provisions

(1) The Purchaser agrees that the United States, its power permittees, lessees, and licensees, shall not be responsible or held liable or incur any liability for the damage, destruction, or loss of any land, crops, facility installed or erected, income, or other property or investment resulting from the use of such lands or portions thereof for power developments at any time where such power development is made by, or under the authority of, the United States.

(2) The Government, at its option, may administratively check scale any portion of the timber removed from the contract area, and if necessary, conduct check scaling of independent scalers contracted to BLM for administrative check scaling purposes. The Purchaser hereby agrees to make such contract timber available for such scaling at a location or locations to be approved in writing by the Authorized Officer. At the approved location or locations, the Purchaser shall provide an area for logs to be safely rolled out for scaling, to unload logs from trucks, place logs in a manner so that both ends and three faces of each log are visible for scaling, and to reload or remove logs after scaling has been completed.

In the event that BLM elects to administratively check scale and if such check scaling causes a delay in log transportation time, an adjustment will be made to the purchase price as follows. If the entire sale is check scaled, the purchase price of this contract shall be reduced by One Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty-five and 00/100 dollars ($1,755.00). In the event only a portion of the contract timber is scaled, the purchase price shall be reduced by that portion of One Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty-five and 00/100 dollars ($1,755.00) which is equal to the percentage of timber sold which was actually scaled by the Government. For purposes of computing this price reduction, the percentage of timber sold which has been scaled shall be determined by the Government. Any reduction in purchase price under the terms of this provision shall be full compensation to the Purchaser for any expense or loss incurred as a result of such scaling. Scaling shall be conducted in accordance with the Northwest Log Rules Eastside by BLM scalers, and/or independent scalers contracted to BLM. A copy of the scale report will be made available to the Purchaser upon request.

(g) Log Export and Substitution

(1) All timber sold to the Purchaser under the terms of this contract, except exempted species, is restricted from export from the United States in the form of unprocessed timber, and is prohibited from being used as a substitute for exported private timber. For the purpose of this contract, unprocessed timber is defined as: (1) any logs except those of utility grade or below, such as sawlogs, peeler logs and pulp logs; (2) cants or squares to be subsequently remanufactured exceeding eight and three-quarters (8¾) inches in thickness; (3) split or round bolts or other

Sec. 42 – Special Provisions (cont’d) Eames Swing Timber Sale

roundwood not processed to standards and specifications suitable for end-product uses; or (4) western red cedar lumber which does not meet lumber of American Lumber Standards Grades of Number 3 dimension or better, or Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau R-List Grades of Number 3 Common or better. Thus, timber manufactured into the following will be considered processed: (1) lumber and construction timber, regardless of size, manufactured to standards and specifications suitable for end-product uses; (2) chips, pulp, and pulp products; (3) green or dry veneer and plywood; (4) poles and piling cut or treated for use as such; (5) cants, squares, and lumber cut for remanufacturing of eight and three-quarters (8¾) inches in thickness or less; (6) shakes and shingles.

Substitution will be determined under the definition found in 43 CFR 5400.0-5(n).

The Purchaser is required to maintain and upon request to furnish the following information:

(aa) Date of last export sale.

(bb) Volume of timber contained in last export sale.

(cc) Volume of timber exported in the past twelve (12) months from the date of last export sale.

(dd) Volume of Federal timber purchased in the past twelve (12) months from the date of last export sale.

(ee) Volume of timber exported in succeeding twelve (12) months from date of last export sale.

(ff) Volume of Federal timber purchased in succeeding twelve (12) months from date of last export sale.

(2) In the event the Purchaser elects to sell any or all of the timber sold under this contract in the form of unprocessed timber, the Purchaser shall require each party buying, exchanging, or receiving such timber to execute a Form 5460-16 (Certificate as to Nonsubstitution and the Domestic Processing of Timber). The original of such certification shall be filed with the Authorized Officer. Additionally, when the other party is an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchaser will be required to update information under item (2) of Form 5450-17 (Export Determination) and file the form with the Authorized Officer.

In the event an affiliate of the Purchaser has exported private timber within twelve (12) months prior to purchasing or otherwise acquiring Federal timber sold under this contract, the Purchaser shall, upon request, obtain from the affiliate information in a form specified by the Authorized Officer and furnish the information to the Authorized Officer.

Prior to the termination of this contract, the Purchaser shall submit to the Authorized Officer Form 5460-15 (Log Scale and Disposition of Timber Removed Report) which shall be executed by the Purchaser. In addition, the Purchaser is required under the terms of this contract to retain for a three-year period from the date of termination of the contract the records of all sales or transfer of logs involving timber from the sale for inspection and use of the Bureau of Land Management.

Unless otherwise authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer, the Purchaser shall brand clearly and legibly one end of all logs with a scaling diameter (small end inside bark) of over 10 inches, prior to the removal of timber from the contract area. All loads of 11 logs or more will have a minimum of 10 logs clearly and legibly branded on one end regardless of the diameter of the logs. All logs will be branded on loads of 10 logs or less. One end of all branded logs to be processed domestically will be marked with a 3 square inch spot of highway yellow paint. The purchaser will stop trucks for accountability monitoring at mutually agreed upon location when notified by the Authorized Officer.

If multiple trailers (mule trains) are used, each bunked load shall be considered an individual load, and these guidelines will apply to each bunked load. If a flatbed stake trailer is used, each bundle will be treated as a separate load.

Sec. 42 – Special Provisions (cont’d) Eames Swing Timber Sale

- 12 -

At the discretion of the Contracting Officer, the Purchaser may be required to brand and paint all logs. Any increased costs for log branding and painting shall be the responsibility of the Purchaser.

In the event of the Purchaser’s noncompliance with this subsection of the contract, the Authorized Officer may take appropriate action as set forth in Section 10 of this contract. In addition, the Purchaser may be declared ineligible to receive future awards of Government timber for a period of one year.
